Does anyone know of any PD sites that have the St Trinian's films for downloading?
The Belles Of St. Trinians: (Dir. Frank Launder, 1954)
Blue Murder At St. Trinians (Dir. Frank Launder, 1957)
The Pure Hell Of St. Trinians (Dir. Frank Launder, 1960)
The Great St. Trinians Train Robbery (Dir. Sidney Gilliat/Frank Launder, Colour, 1966)
Believe that they are now in the Pd section any info would be appreciated thanks Jeff

I have the first one on VHS, but I don't know how I'd encode it. I can see what I can find out, though. Assuming, of course, that it's PD. Archive-ists?

Re: looking for The Pure Hell Of St. Trinians Pd film |
I doubt there's any PD sites with this film, since it's under copyright:

Re: Status on all St. Trinians as Pd or not |
Looks like "Belles of St. Trinian's" (1954),Blue Murder at St. Trinian's (1957), and even Wildcats of ST. Trinian's (1980) not under copyright according to US records. There is a copyright renewal (albeit late) for:

That's interesting. My understanding was that once a copyright expired the work was public domain and it could not be reclaimed. Is there an exception for this?

That's my understanding, too. There are many items whose copyrights were "renewed" after expiry, in some cases as much as a year later, including (among others) most of the season 1 Sgt Preston episodes.
Think I'll UL a nice noire film with invalid renewal, and see if it stays up

Re: Status on all St. Trinians as Pd or not |
its amazing that once these copyrights expire and the films belong to the public, that the government is willing to hand the rights back, since the film never belonged to the government.
